In the essay, Waters calls Eurovision’s decision to host the Song Contest in Israel a “betrayal of our joint humanity.” He also states:

Some of my fellow musicians who have recently performed in Israel say
they are doing it to build bridges and further the cause of peace.
Bullshit. To perform in Israel is a lucrative gig but to do so serves
to normalise the occupation, the apartheid, the ethnic cleansing, the
incarceration of children, the slaughter of unarmed protesters... all
that bad stuff.
